Indian Economic Development: Human Capital Formation in India

Question:

Which of the following factor does not influence human capital formation at the tertiary level (college level)?

Options:

Peer pressure

Educators

Society

None of the above

Correct Answer:

None of the above

Explanation:

A substantial part of the human capital formation takes place in one’s life when she/he is unable to decide whether it would maximise her/his earnings. Children are given different types of school education and health care facilities by their parents and the society. The peers, educators and society influence the decisions regarding human capital investments even at the tertiary level, that is, at the college level. Moreover, the human capital formation at this stage is dependent upon the already formed human capital at the school level. Human capital formation is partly a social process and partly a conscious decision of the possessor of the human capital.
